The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech by deploying reporters to developing stories and producing investigative work and documentaries. It investigates financial links such as Elon Musk's pro‑Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet remains paywall‑free and seeks donations to fund journalism, arguing quality reporting should be available to everyone and supported by those who can afford it. Sainsbury's has begun an eight-week trial of facial recognition in two UK supermarkets to deter shoplifting amid a record rise in retail crime, prompting privacy campaigner opposition.
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
Sainsbury's has started testing controversial facial recognition technology in its UK supermarkets in a bid to catch shoplifters. The UK's second largest supermarket has launched an eight-week trial in two stores as part of a crackdown on the crime, before potentially rolling out the technology nationwide. It comes amid an increase in retail crime with official figures published in July showing the number of shoplifting offences recorded by police in England and Wales climbed to a record high last year.
